{MOD Post} The Eighth Theme
Time to start the eighth theme for May! THANK YOU to everyone who participated in the seventh theme, BTW! The theme for this month decided by the poll will be "What post-timeskip/Shippuuden character would you be?" (in other words, a Naruto Post-Timeskip/Shippuuden Theme). The theme for June will be "What is your ninja rank?" ...The Post-Timeskip/Shippuuden Theme will be in effect until the end of May. As a reminder, there is also a stamped list for the themes...it can be seen HERE! :)

PLEASE NOTE: During the first couple of days when themes start at ninjafy, it seems like there is an explosion of activity in the comm. To try and give members' f-lists a break, we'd like to ask those applying to not all apply right away!

If you see about 7 theme applications posted on the same day as you're about to post, please wait a day to apply!

...You'll still get votes and stamped, but it won't be such a massive amount of applications all at once. :D

THE RULES
1. To participate in themes, applicants MUST have already been stamped in ninjafy. HOWEVER, non-stamped members can still vote on theme applications if they want (it does help keep the comm and theme running when everyone votes).
2. The required subject line is: anything as long as it mentions "Sasuke" because 95% of the post-timeskip story focuses on him ...This will help separate the theme applications from the regular ones, plus it shows that you've read the rules. :)
3. All of the other rules of ninjafy still apply. If you need a refresher on them for any reason, check out the community info. BE NICE! This is in no way a theme where you can make fun of people, nor is that the policy of ninjafy. Also, this is not what character YOU think you are like...so please try to avoid arguments if you disagree with what someone has voted for you!
4. Avoid bashing! You can give a reason as to why a character is your least favorite IF prompted, but please be respectful and keep in mind that other people might not feel the same as you.
5. VOTE! Want the themes to continue? Vote on them then!
--That being said, make note of the space on this application that asks for links to three other applications. This is where you will place the links to three applications you have voted on. They can be either theme applications or regular ones, so long as you have three! Hopefully, this will help keep voting active. Please keep in mind that your application will not be stamped until you post the links to the three applications! If there are no current applications in need of votes, you can still post your application. However, please note when you do vote and either edit your application post with the links or post them in a comment to your application. Also, please don't think this means you should only vote on three applications for the duration of the theme. Comms like ninjafy kind of run on votes, so make sure to vote whenever you can!

~You can see all of the stamps HERE.
~PLEASE NOTE: There are 30 possible characters for this theme! Basically, we went with any of the characters who have a "Future" stamp in our regular rating and those who were introduced during the post-timeskip storyline.
~Also of note for this theme: please think of the Tobi stamp here as representative of his character when he is first introduced! There is another stamp for anyone who fits more with his character as it has been developed in the recent chapters.

~Just a word about voting and the applications: Again, we'd like for each application to get AT LEAST seven votes each (or more), before getting stamped. Reasons and explanations behind votes are always appreciated! It's always nice to know WHY someone would say you're like a certain character.

~That's it for this post. We hope you'll enjoy the eighth theme! ♥
